FileDroid : The Android Sync you were looking for..

My mobile journey has been long like many of you.. starting from 1996 with the classic Sony Ericsson with an antenna sticking out! Moving on from there to the Nokias, Motorolas, and on to the Palm Pilot (but without a data plan! ;-) Finally landing on an iPhone in 2008 which died a pretty ignonimous death in a Commode where my 6yr old Son dropped it! Going through 4 more iterations of iPhone and wanting some variety I moved into the brave new world of Android phones — starting with a Nexus. There was a lineup of Android devices that followed for 13yrs or so before I came back to Apple again in 2022 or so.

Now there was one thing I liked about iPhones. They had iTunes for Music synchronization, with a solid interface, albeit it was a bit restrictive. One of the deepest secrets in my heart has been that, I always preferred the flexibility of Android ecosystem — one that allowed me to use its entire file storage like my laptop / desktop. But this world never gave me a reliable and solid File Transfer tool.. I used Android File Transfer for a while, but it was sunset recently (? not sure when) and there were a couple of other tools I had tried which were either expensive or did not work quite great.

I resorted to using one of those external USB flash drives such as this one on Amazon. Not super convenient because the supporting app was not so great and offered very limited functionality. But still good enough for occasional file transfers.

On one such afternoons 3 days ago, when I wanted to just transfer a mp3 from my Mac Mini to my old OnePlus 7T Android phone, I got frustrated. And decided to build it on my own. The world has shifted to AI and implementing your ideas has never been easier. In the old times, my general turnaround time to implement one of my ideas was about 6 months to a year. This one took me 3 days!

The result? FileDroid — just the way I want, with 2-way transfers, File Manager like interface, with Previews for Images/Audio/PDF/TXT files, multi-select Upload/Download.
